That's right! God does want you to have more. He wants you to live the abundant life. And he wants you to NOT limit Him in what He can do for YOU.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." [Ephesians 3:20]
Will God provide?
In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 we read about Jabez who cried out to God and asked,
"Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request.
What keeps most people
from achieving their greatest dreams?
FEAR is what keeps most people paralyzed and ineffective. Fear of the unknown;
Fear of moving outside their comfort zone; Fear of failure; and yes even
Fear of Success.
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship." [Romans 8:15]
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." [1 John 4:18]
When you understand what fear is, you can break its power.
FEAR: False Expectations Appearing Real
Is It God’s Will
To Be Wealthy?
by Maurice Goulet | Copyright 2006 Desert Publishers
Why are there people who seem to attract unlimited wealth into their lives,
while others, equally as capable or talented or worthy, suffer from poverty
and lack?
Attracting wealth has nothing to do with education, status, talent, environment,
intellectual ability, physical prowess, or geography. ANYONE, regardless
of their background or circumstances, can attract wealth into their lives.
For many years I separated wealth from the “Christian” lifestyle.
Somehow I thought that living a godly life meant living a life without material
wealth. It wasn’t until someone showed me in the Bible that it was
the will of God for ALL of his children to be prosperous and healthy. There
is nothing in the Bible that says we must live in poverty to be right with
God. We are right with God because of the finished works of Jesus Christ.
In the Bible in John 10: 10, Jesus says, “I am come that you might
have life and that you might have it MORE than abundant.” If Jesus
spoke the truth then this life must be available for all those who are willing
to believe it.
The Science Of Getting Rich By Wallace D. Wattles Published in 1910 has
changed the lives of many people. The following is taken from chapter 1
of this timeless masterpiece.
“WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it
is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one
is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul
development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to
develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these
things unless he has money to buy them with.
Man's right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use
of all the things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual,
and physical unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich. No man
ought to be satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying
more. The purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and
every man should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty,
and richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is
really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that
desire is praise worthy. The man who does not desire to live more abundantly
is abnormal, and so the man who does not desire to have money enough to
buy all he wants is abnormal.
There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live
for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier
than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three -- body,
mind, or soul -- can live fully if either of the others is cut short of
full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the
soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and
deny body or soul.
Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and
warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation
are also necessary to his physical life. He cannot live fully in mind without
books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation,
or without intellectual companionship.
To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround
himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and
appreciating. To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied
expression by poverty.
A man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those
he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving.
The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father,
as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man
finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It
is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.
It is perfectly right that you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal
man or woman you cannot help doing so. It is perfectly right that you should
give your best attention to the Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest
and most necessary of all studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict
in your duty to yourself, to God and humanity; for you can render to God
and humanity no greater service than to make the most of yourself.”
